The United Kingdom and India have signed a landmark trade agreement, slashing tariffs on various goods and expanding market access for businesses in both countries. This deal, described as a "landmark moment" by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, seeks to boost bilateral trade and economic cooperation.

• Key Tariffs Reduced: Tariffs on British goods to India will fall from an average of 15% to 3%; whisky and gin tariffs from 150% to 75% (eventually 40% over 10 years); and automotive tariffs from over 100% to 10%. 99% of Indian exports to the UK will face zero import duty.
• Economic Impact: The agreement is expected to boost bilateral trade by £25.5 billion ($34.4 billion) and add £4.8 billion ($6.5 billion) annually to the UK economy.
• Key Figures: Signed by UK Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds and Indian counterpart Piyush Goyal, the deal was formalized after more than three years of negotiations, following an agreement in principle in May.
